HC Deb 25 October 1945 vol 414 cc2199-200
59. Mr. Scott-Eliot

asked the Minister of Labour if he will publish the derails of the "Man-power Budget" prepared before the recent decision was taken with regard to the number of men to be released from the Forces by June, 1946.

Mr. Ness Edwards

The expansion required in the home civilian and export industries and services following the end of the Japanese war is so large that it was not necessary to draw up a detailed "Man-power Budget" for this purpose.
